"Man, Gil I still wonder how you managed to wake me up six days ago! Other than that one day you've not managed to wake up before me a single day!" I said with a yawn while pulling off the sheet from Gil.
"F##k you, you piece of shit! Don't wake me up!!"
Pow!
"Damn, we need to study this rude behaviour of yours whenever someone tries to wake you! And why did you kick me on my face!"
I said with teary eyes stroking my chin where I received the kick. This boy is so impolite whenever I try to wake him up! I am really surprised how he had managed to wake me on my first morning in this world.
"Wake up you trash! We'll be late because of you! You always take half an hour to get ready." This time I completely pulled the sheets away from him and grabbed both of his legs.
"Uhhhhh!!! You rascal!"
.......
"Damn, so he again kicked you in the face!?"
We were sitting at the end of the giant table close to the entrance gate of the dining hall waiting for our food and yes, in personal dorms food is served, there is no buffet style. Well, the redness beneath my chin was quite visible to everyone, they tried to control their laughter and hide their smiles, but you know how humans are, the most 'curious' animals so Erick ended up asking me while continuously trying to suppress his smile.
"Hey, but this time it looks like he was kicked twice on the chin."
Before I could answer Niall interrupted. Gil was hiding his face with glass, acting like he was drinking water, yeah nice act you dimwit, everybody knows your behaviour.
"It was not... Intentional, I-I think!" As Gil did not say anything and Rich was still angry at me, so I said it for Gil.
"Why are you protecting this monster!? You and I we both know how ferocious and dangerous this boy gets whenever someone disturbs his sleep!"
It was Rich who said it. I looked at Rich before giving a faint smile after turning my head downwards. Finally, he is talking to me again, after five days.
"Yo, now even Rich is talking to us! Why are you talking to us now? Don't you know our five days have been wasted without you!" Niall shut his grey eyes and was biting his lower lip doing the fake act of crying! Well, we all knew he was also as dramatic as Rich so all of us just looked at him with narrowed eyes.
Man, world might be different, but the dramatic nature of people is the same. After seeing his drama Rich looked at me and opened his mouth, "I thought that if I protest against someone's stupid decision, they might realize their mistake, but it turns out someone is too dumb to realize anything!"
"Hey, hey! Who are you calling stupid you shark boy!" After listening to Rich's taunt, I could not restrain myself from answering his provocation.
"Shar-? Who... are you calling shark boy you kinky bastard!"
"Kink-? Why are you calling me a kinky bastard?" I demanded in anger.
"Then why did you call me a shark boy!?" Rich also demanded in fury.
"Now, now stop fighting you two! I know you guys love each other enough that you guys will agree to spend night with each other! So, stop this fake fighting."
What Erick just said shocked me and Rich exactly the same. I didn't expect that jokes of that kind will be famous in this futuristic world as well.
Erick had a buddha smile on his face. What? He thinks that what he said just now was right? This stupid bastard, thank God he didn't said stuff like this in front of Ellie because I know very well that brain of hers is always submerged in the fantasies of BL.
Erick, Rich, me, Gil and Niall were all sitting together and because of my struggles of past five days going in vain, Hoover or in their eyes 'Norde' was still not able to sit with us. I had still not asked Gil or anybody about what happened at the first mission that made Elizabeth and Norde lost respect in their eyes.
"Ehm! I think the topic has changed from violent nature of our friend Gilberg Edison to something stupid, so let's again talk about someone's furious actions."
Rich said it and cleared his throat and, putt his intertwined hands on the table acting like a news anchor.
"Yeah, sure! Let's talk about that. Don't you dipshits have anything better to do?"
Gil desperately resorted to foul language to change the topic.
"See! He always uses abusive language whenever he is found guilty of anything even if it is eating someone's food without their permiss- kuh!"
Gil had wrapped his arm around the throat of Niall who was sitting on his left side and didn't let him finish his sentence.
"A-and the second thing he does is resorting to violence!!!" I screamed at the end of the sentence while standing up.
Kuh!
"S-s-stop i-it, you will not get away with this!" I struggled desperately as I found myself in the same situation as Niall, but I was grabbed by his right arm.
"Shut the hell up! Both of you are so stupid!" Gil expressed his anger in hardly refined language if we are talking in his standards.
"Then w-we.... We demand that you let us go, you monster!"
I struggled for breath as it was suffocating in his grip. After turning his eyes to front he let us go with an angry gasp. He sat on his chair with arms crossed and said with a scowl, "I wonder what is taking them so long to serve food?"
After observing the condition for past five days I have come to know that these guys are not scared even a bit for today's mission. I am talking about just my group, fortunately I am friends with most of them here so as they are in same group, group-135 it is lucky for me that these guys are friend of Seth.
I have obtained some important information from these people with care and caution. One thing I came to know that this is not the only branch of Heinsberg. This is the only branch in Andromeda galaxy. There are other branches in other galaxies. But they are called Heinsberg of the respective galaxy.
Another thing I found was that these guys along with me are at the lowest rank currently, as they possess calibers, they have greater chance to rise in ranks faster than those that do not possess calibers. Third thing I was given information of was about our today's mission. We are just going to maintain peace there which Leonard James had also said but I found about what happened on the last mission from Erick and I am glad that Erick is a good guy, because I don't know if I would've continued talking to a guy because of whom I almost died.
We are at the lowest rank which means we are just soldiers for now but for the trainees and cadets that possess calibers, there is a special term for them called 'defiant'. As we defy the normal concepts of human, and Rich is not called a defiant as he does not have any caliber. Due to Rich, I was able to find out that our training divisions consists of two types of cadets. One who has calibers and are called defiant, other are those who only have control over there vital force and do not possess any calibers. This difference of name is limited only to the soldier rank. After rising in rank from soldier to second lieutenant the ranks names are same for those who have calibers, and those who do not.
This is going to be the last mission of these cadets and after this they will be given a choice to choose their profession, whether they want to continue in space patrol or not! Which is a very stupid question to ask these people. Because they all have calibers, which arises a stupid ego in the people and fools them into thinking that they are superior to normal humans and they feel like their survival is guaranteed in space patrol, so there is no need to worry.
"Seth, you are not about to do something stupid again in this mission are you!?"
Again!? Niall asked me the question they have all been asking me in turns for five days.
"Why do you have so little faith in me!?" I complained.
"Why, you ask? Shall we remind you how much of a hero you became on our last mission?" Rich yelled at me with dropped his fist on the table.
The only thing I regret not being able to do in the past five days is to not get any information about our first and most recent mission. I was able to get some information about our last mission, but it was not the extent that I would know what really happened in there that my whole group was severely wounded. What happened on the mission I've asked them by changing my words many times but was just not able to succeed a single time.
"I know, phew! Relax brother!" I gestured him to relax and wiped the sweat off my forehead.
"So, all of you are planning to stay in space patrol after the completion of this mission?" Erick asked with tapping on the table with his left hand's index finger and raising his head.
The one who replied first was Niall, "I mean isn't that what we should do, like it is the easiest way. We have received this training for a year and now we are qualified enough to join the space patrol to make a living." He said it in way like he was implying what was obvious and what everyone would be thinking.
"Right! I don't think anybody here would think about doing something else considering that we are literally orphans." Gil shrugged.
I had observed that these guys even though they know that they would be used by the patrol they would still go with this choice because it is easy to make a living with doing this and they might be able to travel across different planets.
But if you think that after becoming a war orphan, they were recruited by this space patrol without their consent so now all the information and knowledge they possess is about space patrol and what would help them in succeeding at missions like these.
.........
Ellie was sitting on her table eating her breakfast thinking about something when her friend Charlotte poked her in the cheek and gestured her to eat her food.
Ellie saw the red eyes of Charlotte pointing towards her breakfast at the table which was not much touched.
"Charlotte your blonde hair and red eyes are extremely beautiful!" After looking at Charlotte, Ellie praised her beauty for no particular reason.
"Well, thank you! But why are you suddenly praising my beauty!?" So, Charlotte said while flipping her hair with her left hand.
"I've heard that ghosts possess those girls who don't tie her hair too much"
"..." Charlotte gave Ellie a frown before tapping her on the shoulder and saying, "I thought that it was strange for you to praise my looks. But why did you say something so weird?"
Charlotte wanted to know Ellie's reasoning for saying stuff like that.
"You know they say there are as many stars in the sky as there are hair on a human head."
Charlotte this time put her hand on Ellie's forehead to check her temperature to know if she has some kind of fever which was forcing her to say this nonsense.
"Elizabeth, you should not cram books all night you know!? Look what has happened to you, prepare yourself for the mission we'll be leaving for the mission in just three hours."
As it turns out, Ellie was busy finding information and learn about this world as much as she could for her friends and herself as well. She found what happened on the last mission from the girls who was in her group, group-135.
.........
2060 cadets were now standing in the departing area of Heinsberg. It was a space station where our spaceship was supposed to arrive for our interstellar travel.
The branch of Heinsberg in where we were staying at is in Andromeda galaxy. The galaxy where that planet, we are about go on our mission for, orbits its star, is in Milkyway. It is even though the nearest galaxy to Andromeda, we still need special space crafts for travelling which do not cause any time dilation.
The planet where we are going to is called Aquegor, it is also the hometown of Seth where his native country Hilska is present or should I say was present. The common thing about me and Seth is that we were born on the planets of same galaxy.
Any way after six days in this world I am finally going to do some adventure by travelling literally through space and crossing one galaxy to go into another one.
As you might have guessed, the emotion dominating my inner body right now is fear and anxiety. I don't know how it feels like to travel through space, in my world we did not have the liberty to space travel with this ease.
I hope the gear we were given for this space travel helps us!
We were given dark blue tight suits which was a jumpsuit if I am guessing it correct. We were wearing dark black long boots and brown long boots. It was of same design for both men and women. A wind breaker which we wore on top of our suit was of black colour. The tight dark blue suit inside the windbreaker had a zip in the middle which was hidden under the cloth and a sign was made on the center of the chest area. It was wings of Pegasus which was made with white colour and was shining on the edges. Its shine was golden and silver.
Every cadet had special design for their Holy arms on their suits. I had a sword holder on the left side of my waist, same was with Emma. The two daggers which Ellie had was on the back of her waist. Hoover's axe was also suspended on his back.
.......
After standing for twenty minutes the ship finally arrived, and after we were introduced to the pilot of the ship and all of the senior officers who were going to accompany us along with our trainers, we were finally able to go into the space
craft. It was just like I had imagined it to be. The spaceship had an overall oval shape, with two elongated, curved extensions on either side, resembling claws, which do not completely close at top, leaving a gap. The central body of the ship was nestled within the curved outer frame. With round and wide edges and almost as big as building. It had windows on specific distance from each other on the width of the space craft, the front area had a small mirror, well I think they still had not found anything that looks and works like a mirror and has the endurance to survive lightspeed.
After we went inside the space craft, each group was guided to a specific compartment on the ship. Later I found that each group would have its own specific ship smaller in size obviously, because we would be going to different- places on Aquegor.
Hence, after sitting inside our own compartment I heard the sound of engine starting, the whole area around me moved and after looking out the window I found that it was a fake window, just a projector which was at that time working as a window when I saw it on the space station, because if I trust my eyes than we were moving very slowly in space and I know to travel in galaxies we have to travel faster than light.
Well, we finally took off and were going for our mission on planet Aquegor.
